WHO should be chosen as GODPARENTS for Baptism?

Only Catholics who know their faith and live up to the duties of their religion should be chosen as godparents for Baptism.

A godparent is supposed to be a practical Catholic. Non-Catholic, Masons, those who married out of the Church, and all other excommunicated persons cannot be sponsors. Neither can the father, the mother, the husband, or the wife of the person to be baptized be the godparent.
